Effect of VEGF on apelin protein expression. Western blotting analysis for apelin. Synovial membrane cells were stimulated with 10 or 100 ng/mL human recombinant VGEF or vehicle for 24 h preceding protein extraction and analysis of apelin protein. a Western blot of apelin and β-actin. b Densitometric analysis of apelin bands. All data are shown as the mean ± standard error (n = 6). *P < 0.05 compared with the vehicle control
